I honestly haven’t looked at the code lately but how is VST3 support going? JUCE has been compiling VST3 with no issues for a long time now. I’m willing to jump in to a branch and lend a hand! What are the issues here with juce? There may be some deprecated functions to deal with obviously. It’s definitely time to move on.

At this point it is more important to get a VST IDE to go with the VSTi IDE we already have, @orange has showed that HISE is capable of creating world class effects now too, so we could really do with a way to preview in context as we build.

We can already do this by running HISE as a VST plugin and developing in that. Or did you mean something else?

VST, not VSTi, we have a VSTi, not a VST.
VSTi = Instrument.
VST = Effect.
To develop effects you need an environment that will work as intended, the VSTi that we have now, has no audio inputs, so the only way to test any effect designs (VST) is to load a sampler and use audio from that, we need a compile as VST (Audio inputs and outputs) added to what we have now, VSTi.

Oh now I understand. I wonder if there are any flags we can set in Projucer to enable this, like we can for changing the number of audio outs...

I'm a complete newb with the compiling side of things, but it would be interesting if we could get a VST going for sure, Making some basic effects would be a great way to learn construction in HISE i think.
